Scoring

Audience priorities are specific enough to guide channel, content, and partner decisions.

Audience

Each channel has a defined role in the audience journey.

Channel roles

Content needs match channel, audience, and funnel stage.

Content

KPI hierarchy distinguishes leading signals, optimization metrics, and business outcomes.

Measurement

Partner responsibilities and handoffs are documented before launch.

Partner governance

The intended next action is clear for each priority audience and journey stage.

Next action
0of 6 scored

Score all six signals to see the result.

6 to 12 means the plan likely needs strategic repair before partner execution. 13 to 18 means the pieces are useful but governance and measurement may create execution drag. 19 to 24 means the plan is close to launch-ready.

Decision questions

Which audience segment or account set must the plan win first, and why?

What job does each channel perform that another channel cannot?

Where will audience quality be verified before optimization decisions are made?

Which partner owns measurement interpretation, not just report delivery?

What would trigger a budget shift, channel pause, content change, or audience refinement?

What is the single most important next action for each priority audience or stakeholder?

Interpretation

6 to 12: The plan likely needs strategic repair before partner execution. This is where a step-in media lead or a contained strategy sprint pays for itself.

13 to 18: The plan has useful pieces, but governance and measurement may create execution drag. A list-match or activation audit usually finds the leak.

19 to 24: The plan is close to launch-ready. Focus on optimization cadence and stakeholder reporting.
